Cochrane is a travel point, not a DriveTest Centre. DriveTest sends examiners to Board of Trade, 4 Third Ave in Cochrane on scheduled dates, staffed from Timmins, rather than keeping an office open here. That distinction is the whole story for anyone searching for a G1 test in Cochrane, because what a travel point offers is narrower than what a centre offers.
Only on Cochrane's scheduled travel days.
This is a travel point staffed from a larger centre. Its published schedule sets aside part of the travel day for inside services, the counter work a new licence application needs, so check the official schedule before you make the trip.
What Cochrane Handles
Timmins staffs one other travel point besides this one: Moosonee. They share the same examiners, so their schedules are set together.
Copied from DriveTest’s own centre locator on August 22, 2026. Services change. Check the official locator before you travel, and use it for live wait times too.
When It Is Open
A travel point does not keep standing hours. DriveTest publishes a specific list of dates and times for Cochrane, and that list is revised through the year, so reproducing it here would only make it stale. The official locator carries the current schedule, and it is the only place worth trusting for it.
Nearest Alternatives to Cochrane
If Cochrane is queued out or closed on the day you can go, these are the closest locations that also offer the knowledge test. Distances are straight-line, calculated from the coordinates DriveTest publishes, so every one of them is shorter than the drive. Around the Great Lakes it can be much shorter.

Before You Go
None of this is specific to Cochrane. It is specific to Ontario, and it is where most wasted trips come from.
- Bring original documents. Photocopies, scans and photos on a phone are refused at the counter. You need original proof of identity, and if you are under 16 you need a parent or guardian with you.
- There is a vision screening first. Bring your glasses or contacts if you wear them. It happens before the written test, not after.
- The fee is $159.75 for the Class G1 licence package, set by the province and the same at every location. A retake of the knowledge test is $16.
- Nothing is bookable. Knowledge tests are first come, first served at every DriveTest Centre. Arrive well before closing rather than close to it.
Turn Up Having Already Passed It Once
The trip is the expensive part, not the $16. Our G1 practice test is free, has no ads and needs no account: 200 questions on signs and rules of the road, a 40-question mock in the real two-section format, an explanation on every answer, and unlimited retakes.

The same as everywhere else in Ontario. DriveTest fees are set by the province, so there is no local pricing. The Class G1 licence package is $159.75 and covers the knowledge test, a G2 road test later, and a five-year licence. A retake of the knowledge test is $16.
We are a driving school in Richmond Hill, not DriveTest, and we do not administer tests. Everything on this page about Cochrane is taken from DriveTest’s own centre locator on August 22, 2026. Where DriveTest publishes nothing, we say so instead of filling the gap.
